Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Evan je poangličtená podoba waleského mena Ifan, ktoré zodpovedá slovenskému Ján. Konečným východiskom je hebrejské Jochanan: zložka jo- odkazuje na Boha Jahve a slovesný koreň ch-n-n vyjadruje milostivosť. Význam sa tradične podáva ako „Jahve je milostivý“. Waleský pôvod označuje vývin podoby mena, hebrejský jeho etymologický základ.
